Summertown by No Mary

This was my second album, the follow-up to ‘Soap Stickers Jewels’. Summertown is a small town the Adelaide Hills.

Recording ‘Soap Stickers Jewels’ was exhausting because it was my first album and I wanted it to be perfect. With ‘Summertown’, I took a more relaxed approach, recording in a more spontaneous way. I often kept early takes without using a click track. ‘Lying in the sand’ and ‘Chinese laundromat’ are two of my favourites from the record which I rerecorded in 2018 to do them some justice.

These are the original vocal recordings from 1997.
